Adding a New Rx Renewal Task

Displays a list of all users and custom lists for the practice. You are not required to make selections from the list (in which case the task would be unassigned).

To assign the task to users, click the user’s name in the Users/Groups box. Once you have made your selections, click   to move them to the Assigned To box. To unassign a task, click the user’s name in the Assigned To box and click .

Note:

• To assign this task to a user in another practice within your clinic, click the Clinic button (if applicable).

• Your name displays first in this list, making it easy for you to assign tasks to yourself, if appropriate.

Click the Req check box for each item (med or non-med) that the patient has requested for renewal.

The Meds list displays the patient’s active medications. You can also click links to display inactive medications or non-medications. Use the Comments section of the detail header to indicate if the task includes renewals for entries other than active medications.

The LMR includes other options for processing tasks (not usually used for new tasks). These include the following:

• The icon displays in the Appr No Rx column if the prescription cannot be generated because of missing dosing information.

• The check box Appr No Rx allows providers to mark the request as approved, but no prescription generated. A   will display next to the item on the Rx Renewal Queue for this patient.

• The check box Deny allows providers to mark the request as denied. A   will display next to the item on the Rx Renewal Queue for this patient.

• The Renew button allows you (or the provider) complete all approved requests, marking them as complete and generating prescriptions. (You will later need to sign to print/fax the prescription.) A  will display next to the item on the Rx Refill Queue.

Note: Clicking the Renew button updates all requested meds (or non-meds) that have not been marked as Appr No Rx or Deny. So you must use this button only after updating all other entries that you will not be renewing.

You can update the pharmacy information if the default information is not correct. The default is assigned based on the pharmacy preference for the patient.

- To edit the entry, click the link in the Pharmacy Information column.

- To add a different pharmacy, click New Pharmacy.

- To delete an entry, click the check box to the left of the pharmacy information and click Delete.
